While most of the 2010 Expo pavilions were demolished, the Chinese Pavilion (now a museum) and the World Expo Cultural Centre (now the Mercedes Benz Arena) as well as the Mall structure are still wonderful architectural masterpieces that are worthy of a tour if you had not attended the World Expo back in 2010. I went on a weekend and...

I missed the chance to visit world expo in 2010. After reading review from travel book dated back in 2014. It was a place to visit. However when i reached there, it was quiet as hell, only a few old folks exercising. Some buildings starting to tear down. The mall also dead quiet, seems like most of the business has...

We did not visit all of the galleries. The building is nice and interesting to see from the outside.

I am impressed particularly by a few huge oil paintings exhibited. Entry is free so it just costs you a subway trip if you are in...

I never had a chance to visit the Shanghai Expo Center during it prime. A few years after the event, you can still see the glimpse of past glory. Most of the structures have been or being taken down or re-purposed. The pavilion and the Chinese museum seem to be staying. Did not go into the Chinese building but it...

Constructed as the Chinese pavilion for shanghai expo and later converted into art museum. Entry is free for everyone, except some areas inside. Art works exhibited on the top floors ans there are some areas dedicated to the art schools and colleges to exhibit the art works.
